That is, the present invention relates to an anti-slice golf tee comprising: a head part shaped to surround one side of a golf ball; a support part connected to the head part and formed to be perpendicularly fixable on the ground; an insertion groove concavely formed at the inner center portion of the head part; and a hitting member separately inserted in the insertion groove so as to allow an impact point to be concentrated on the center portion of the head part, wherein the hitting member has a space formed therein.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention is a technology related to an anti-slice golf tee, and more particularly, to an anti-slice golf tee which supports a golf ball while surrounding a part of the golf ball, thereby suppressing the rotation force of the golf ball during a tee shot to prevent a slice of the golf ball and allowing an impact point to be concentrated on a center portion of the golf ball.

BACKGROUND ART

In general, a slice (or hook) refers to the phenomenon that a head of a club fails to exactly hit a golf ball during a tee shot and spins the golf ball, thereby causing the golf ball to move in the unwanted direction or fail to move far away while the moving direction of the golf ball is curved.

The above slice is experienced by most beginners who begins to learn golf, and the slice is solved through various posture corrections and repeated hitting practices.

However, there was a problem that a user incapable of spending a lot of time in practicing golf, a user having a deficient athletic ability, or a user feeling boring in practicing golf gives up golf because of losing interest in golf during correcting the slice.

The related art for preventing the above slice will be described as below.

{circle around (1)} Korean Utility Model No. 20-0384473 (ANTI-SLICE GOLF TEE) discloses a technology including a head part formed of stainless steel and having an oval shape surrounding a golf ball, a support part for supporting the head part from the ground, a protruding part formed inside the head part and having a size of about 1 mm to 3 mm to reduce a distance loss of the golf ball, a seating part formed with a hole to remove a slice or hook together with the protruding part, and an aiming part formed at an upper portion of the head part and having a triangular shape of about 5 cm to about 10 cm to indicate a swing direction of the golf ball.

However, the above related art has a structural problem in that an impact point for transferring an impact from the head part surrounding the golf ball to the golf ball is excessively wide, so the force transferred to the impact point fails to balance and is distributed when an initial hitting position of a club head deviates from a center of the golf tee, thus the slice may still occur.

{circle around (2)} Korean Utility Model No. 20-0303847 (GOLF TEE FOR NO MORE SLICE) discloses the configuration of a golf tee including a support part and an impact part, wherein an impact portion is open at an interval of about 5 mm, and an impact part having a ball cover formed of a soft material such as synthetic resin with a quadrant shape surrounding a golf ball is formed on the top of the support part.

The above related art is characterized in that the portion for supporting the golf ball is divided into two sites. However, because an impact point portion of the golf ball is not clear, and the transferred force changes when a hitting portion of the club head strongly or firstly hits one site of the support part, a spin may be caused in the golf ball.

{circle around (3)} Korean Utility Model No. 20-0366277 (GOLF TEE) discloses the technology of a golf tee including a head part having an oval shape surrounding a golf ball; and a support part for supporting the head part from the ground, wherein the head part includes a protruding part formed on an inner surface of the head part to reduce a distance loss of the golf ball, and a fixed part fixed between the head part and the support part using a screw, and the head part is formed of stainless steel.

However, although the related art is also configured to include a plurality of protruding parts integrally formed inside the head part, a spin in the golf ball may be caused since the impact point portion is not clear. In addition, when the head part is entirely formed of stainless steel, the manufacturing cost increases, and the golf club is damaged compared to other golf tees formed of synthetic resin.

DISCLOSURE Technical Problem

The present invention is disclosed to solve the above problems, and has the object to provide an anti-slice golf tee in which a support portion of the golf tee is supported while surrounding a golf ball to allow a golf club to hit indirectly, so that an impact point of the golf ball is clearly formed to prevent a slice and transmit strong force to the impact point, thereby increasing a flying distance.

Technical Solution

According to the present invention, an anti-slice golf tee includes: a head part shaped to surround one side of a golf ball; a support part connected to the head part and formed to be perpendicularly fixable on a ground; an insertion groove concavely formed at an inner center portion of the head part; and a hitting member separately inserted in the insertion groove to allow an impact point to be concentrated on a center portion of the head part, wherein the hitting member has a space formed therein.

In addition, the head part may be formed at an outer side thereof with a protruding part at a portion in which the insertion groove is formed.

In addition, the hitting member and the head part may be formed of materials different from each other, in which the hitting member may be formed of a material having a hitting strength higher than the material of the head part.

In addition, the hitting member may be formed of a titanium material.

In addition, the head part may be formed of a graphene material.

Advantageous Effects

According to the present invention, the hitting force of the golf club is indirectly transferred through the head part surrounding a part of the golf ball to suppress the spin of the golf ball, so that, finally, the slice or hook can be prevented.

In addition, a separate hitting member is further coupled to the inner center of the head part to allow the impact point to be concentrated on the center of the golf ball at the moment of hitting, so that the slice can be prevented and the flying distance can be increased.

BEST MODE [Mode for Invention]

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Further, in the following description of the embodiments of the present invention, the detailed description of the related known function or configuration incorporated herein will be omitted when it possibly makes the subject matter of the present invention unclear unnecessarily.

The present invention is a technology related to an anti-slice golf tee including as shown in FIG. 1: a head part 100 shaped to surround one side of a golf ball; and a support part 200 connected to the head part and formed to be perpendicularly fixable on a ground.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the anti-slice golf tee of the present invention includes: an insertion groove 110 concavely formed at an inner center portion of the head part 100; and a hitting member 300 separately inserted in the insertion groove 110 to allow an impact point to be concentrated on a center portion of the head part 100. In addition, the hitting member 300 is formed therein with a space 400.

The head part 100 of the present invention has a shape surrounding a part of the golf ball from the outside of the golf ball. Accordingly, when a golf club hits the outside of the head part 100 first during a tee shot process, the hitting force is transferred to the golf ball positioned inside the head part 100, so that the golf ball move forward. In other words, the hitting force of the golf club is indirectly transferred through the head part 100, so that the spin of the golf ball is suppressed.

However, the spin of the golf ball cannot be completely suppressed only by the configuration of the head part 100. Thus, according to the feature of the present invention the hitting member 300 is coupled to an inner side of the head part 100 to allow the impact point to be concentrated on the center of the golf ball at the moment of hitting, so that the slice can be prevented and the flying distance can be increased.

The essence of the present invention is that the hitting 300 is configured separately from the head part 100 and coupled to the head part 100, and a space 400 is formed inside the coupled hitting member 300. At the moment when the hitting member 300 hits the golf ball through the space 400, a repulsive force is generated on the hitting member 300, so that a stronger hitting may be applied to the impact point portion. In other words, a strong repulsive force may be generated in the process that a contact portion of the hitting member 300 is inserted into the space 400 and restored during the hitting process, thereby strongly bouncing the golf ball.

In order to form the space 400 inside the hitting member 300 in the above manner, it is preferable to form a groove in the insertion portion of the hitting member 300 such that the hitting member 300 has a section in a rectangular ‘C’ shape as shown in the drawing.

An insertion groove 110 is formed inside a center portion of the head part 100 to have a concave shape such that the hitting member 300 of the present invention may be coupled thereto. It is preferable that the insertion groove 110 and the hitting member 300 have a circular shape, but the shape may be changed and applied with other shapes as needed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the hitting member 300 of the present invention coupled to the head part 100 may have a shape the same as an inner surface of the head part 100 without protruding from the inside of the head part 100. When configured as in the above manner, the golf ball may be stably supported entirely on the inner surface of the head part 100.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the hitting member 300 is configured to protrude more than the inner surface of the head part 100, the inner surface of the head part 100 does not entirely come into contact with the golf ball when the golf ball is put on the golf tee. However, the hitting effect may be further increased by the hitting member 300 that protrudes more. Because the degree of protrusion of the hitting member 300 is slight, the hitting member may be temporarily pressed in a direction of the insertion groove 110 during the hitting process, so that the entire inner surface of the head part 100 may come into close contact with the golf ball.

In addition, a protruding part 120 may be formed in an outer side of the head part 100 of the present invention at a portion in which the insertion groove 110 is formed so as to allow the protrusion part 120 to come into contact first when hit by the golf club, so that the transfer of the force may be concentrated onto the hitting member 300 positioned in the center even when a hitting position of the golf club is inaccurate.

According to the golf tee of the present invention as shown in FIG. 3 the hitting member 300 is positioned at a lower portion by an angle ‘a’ other than a middle of the golf ball to increase a flying distance of a tee shot. The angle ‘a’ may be preferably applied as 10°.

The hitting member 300 of the present invention is configured separately from the head part 100 and may be preferably formed of different materials compared to the same material. At this point, a material having a hitting strength higher than that of the material of the head part 100 is applied to the hitting member 300, so that the force hit by the hitting member 300 may be concentrated.

It is preferable that the hitting member 300 is formed of a titanium material. When the hitting member 300 is formed of a metal alloy containing titanium, the flying distance may be effectively increased through the high coefficient of restitution of titanium itself in addition to the rigidity.

In addition, the head part 100 may be formed of synthetic resin generally used for manufacturing golf tees, however, the durability may be further increased when the head part 100 is formed of a graphene material. Graphene is a material called the new material of dreams, and has excellent flexibility, elasticity, and strength compared to other materials, so it may be suitable for a portion onto which strong hits are repeatedly performed.

In addition, it may also be a preferred embodiment that the head part 100 to have a significantly transparent shape, so that a portion covered by the head part 100 may be easily seen by the user with the naked eye.

In addition, FIGS. 6 and 7 show another embodiment of the present invention. When a plurality of incision holes 130 are formed at equal intervals at positions spaced apart from the insertion groove 110 of the head part 100 at a predetermined interval, the force may be more concentrated onto the central portion in which the insertion groove 110 is formed. In other words, since the incision holes 130 functions to prevent the force hitting on the center of the head part 100 through the golf club from being distributed to the outside of the incision holes 130, the force may be concentrated into the incision holes 130.

In the above, the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, but it will be apparent that various modifications are available within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
